And here is a definition of what constitutes a village.

“A village is a small settlement usually found in a rural setting. It is generally larger than a "hamlet" but smaller than a "town". Some geographers specifically define a village as having between 500 and 2,500 inhabitants.”

So here we have a first hand account of "seventy huts", each capable of housing "twelve to fifteen men" each, described as a "village" and of being a "permanent habitation", yet you and others will fight tooth and nail to discredit it, or to ignore it, or to say on this occasion Sturt was in error, or some such guff.

Where is the debunking you speak of?

Hi Steele,

I come from a village with a post office, a one room school house, two shops, two very small churches used once a month each, a railway station and about 10 houses. Gee, the Aboriginals were living in a mega city compare to, now I think of it my hamlet!

Now days the PO, school, railway station, shops, churches and most of the houses have gone, what's smaller than a hamlet.... a locality,. Just don't sound the same.

Steele,
Very interesting, but does not alter that Pascoe is not an Aboriginal and thus gained awards etc., under false pretences.

Anyone with a few skills in ancestral research follow the paper trail of Pascoe’s thoroughly European ancestry.

Is Mise,

What proof do you have to back up your claims?

Ken Wyatt, Minister for Indigenous Australians said he
found it "fascinating, " that identity seems to be broadly
accepted with every other group, while Indigenous
Australians are questioned.

" No one else gets that question," he said.

" A person who says 'I'm Italian,' (British, Irish, Indian,
et cetera) even though you know that they were born in this
country but the parents are Italian, et al, we accept that."

But in the Indigenous area- it is always been questioned
according to Wyatt. He puts the blame on the way the
governments used to categorize people in the past.

Perhaps it is time this stopped?

Is Mise,

What nationality do you consider yourself to be - and
what proof do you have?
